The size of the popup and individual columns is a kind of preset and not remembered between appearances. Please note that there are many different popups with different contents and different number of columns. "Remembering" column and popup width for each type of popup and context is a not an easy thing.

Best I can do is to submit on your behave an enhancement request to implement such feature in some future version.

Reply...(Popup width)

Being a developer, i understand that it is not easy to maintain diff width for different poups but what is suggest it to overwrite preset width with user defined width, whenever user re-size poupup window. This correction will definatly help DB developers to view full object name at a glance when typing the code.

We have it in the queue as a potential "enhancement". Looking at the notes attached, I don't think we consider this to be a good approach. There are certain internal dependencies that make it difficult to fix the width. The issue is that the popup width is. dynamic, I mean, it is dynamic-dynamic. As you navigate the list and expand different elements, multiple levels, multiple columns, the widths gets adjusted dynamically. Based on the context, number of displayed columns, their internal width, font used and a number of other factors.

To demonstrate this, the following, type SELECT, after popup appears, using navigation keys, locate a table having very long column names, expand it (arrow right), select several columns (arrow down and right). Now try using this popup aft after FROM or after JOIN and expand theme two. You should see the differences.
